It's a great question. Why are Republican members of Congress idly sitting by while their constituents lives get ruined? Their budget plan is a dismantling of our social safety net for average Americans. @repauchincloss.bsky.social brought the heat to NewsNation.

@schiffsenategov.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @maddowblog.msnbc.com #ItsACoup Your ONLY remaining legal recourse to ensure FAIR future elections is to SHUT IT ALL DOWN *NOW*. WHAT PART OF "THIS ISN'T BUSINESS AS USUAL" DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
